bullish on one-way flights, flat white & human connection
if you're in nyc and want to talk app growth, startups, or lymphatic flow - drop a comment :)
i'm NOT ok.
i just went to grab a coffee and felt like i was melting on the street. NYC IS AT 103°F ...
staying inside now until i figure out how i can use fable 5 to lifemaxx, bye
(shoutout to the guy in the back choosing to boil)
one of my first hypotheses going into growing Pinned: IRL community building is an undervalued marketing channel for consumer apps.
so i started a run club.
weeks 1-3: 8 people showed up. hard not to question it.
week 4: added a DJ + coffee rave after the run. 40+ showed up.
week 5: 40+ again. we have momentum.
all of them are now active users. not the biggest scale, but i'd argue people who feel part of the brand are your stickiest users. always.
first day on X - here's my verdict:
> feels smarter than most platforms i've used
> algorithm figured me out faster than i figured out X lol
> learning something from every post i scroll past
> casual & insightful at the same time - love the combo
> sad i missed out on the word limit era. would've made me a better writer
so far so good :)
